Words are magic and sometimes we need a little magic to get things percolating.

The heart is deceptive in the way it perceives most things as grand. The brain knows otherwise.

The Poetry of Old House Lovers

The poetry of love just flows,

No lines to rehearse,

No feelings to coerce,

It has its own wizardry,

Following its own path via destiny,

Eventually creating an epiphany,

in the minds of the chosen....

Gold Digger

A woman is a gold digger because she wants the very best,

If a suitor wants to give it to her, I say so long to all the pests,

Remember, men dig for gold too. they just do it in a different way,,

Your soul they will put a stake through, then have contemptible things to say.

Hey Lady Liberty!

Hey Lady Liberty how goes it on Ellis Island?
You look quite regal standing in the fog,
an impressive figure that symbolizes tourism
and freedom to explore, you are never alone
since you have visitors all the time waving to you
from the shore, even the cruise ships rally around
you as they pass through this fair city, you are often
the subject of many poets' ditties, no one can deny
you are quite green and pretty, the apple of every
New Yorkers' eye, did you ever wonder what life is
like on the other side? Did you ever feel like taking
a ride or a look see, to find out where people go
after they say hello to you? Perhaps you prefer to be
admired, revered and ogled, a tough, green, wild woman
could be a trouble to some, but, you my dear are special
and can be as stoic as you want to be, you don't even
have to say hello to passersby, because you are
Lady Liberty, the goddess of America and that is enough....

The Unhappy Dismal Town

The city side walks were sparse and bare,
There were only eight Christmas trees strewn about,
one hoped they were all sold out,

The decorations were scanty and barely could be seen, basically the holiday was but a dream, most felt dreary and blue, since layoffs loomed,

How could anyone celebrate with pink slips on the horizon? Thanks to Senor Biden we have been teetering on the brink of destruction.

Even Santa's got money woes and the children don't want to bother him with their needs and wants,

As a result, they gallivant night and day, some getting part-time jobs to create their own merriment, causing bad grades and discontent,

Sadly for them it will take several nickels and dimes to decorate the city in time.,

So they went online inviting everyone to bring, lights, tinsel, angels and candy canes, to change the mood from somber to bright before Christmas Eve night,

Hanukkah will be dismal, since it falls around the same time, we need a little spirit to help us get through the sad sack moods, an Ebenezer Scrooge would be a welcome change, the lack of enthusiasm felt strange, it's amazing what lighting one large menorrah can do,

A light here, a light there, can instantly brighten every where and before you know it, we will be fighting away the colorful glares,

Dear elves if you are listening out there and feeling benevolent, take a jaunt to the metropolis and thaw everyone out, brighten the atmosphere with your clout,

Awaken workers with Christmas lights, and crazy customers' shouts filled with glee, create ginger bread houses and candy-filled yum-yum trees,

Make the merriest time of year spectacular and full of fun, send away the doldrums and let bygones be done.

You must think about what you want to say and then write it eloquently.

Ruiners of Mirth

(sing to the tune "You are a mean one" from the Grinch who stole Christmas)

You're mean ones, Hamas!
You guys are really eels,
You are as thorny as cacti,
You are as charming as thorns,
You all were probably manufactured
instead of born,

You are bad apples with worms in them,
You all are everything instead of God-sends
Your brains are filled of spiders and your hearts
are as black as coal,

God is going to get you if you
live to be decrepit and old,
You are foul ones, Hamas!
Mean, dirty and crass, Hamas
We hope you get visited by hungry crocodiles,
That oughta wipe away your wolf-like smiles,

You are vile ones,
vulgar and rude,
Maybe you'll get washed
away by all the oil that's crude,
You all are nasty skunks,
who act like scared punks,
Release the hostages or you
will forever be known as stink, stank, stunk!

To Hamas who stole people's joy and children's innocence. May God show you a sign soon.
